fix(types): add explicit submodule import for pyright compatibility

janfrederik · claude · nejch · commit 84ad3fd19cfb · 2026-02-16T11:19:05.000+01:00
Add `import gitlab.base` inside the TYPE_CHECKING block in repositories.py so that pyright can resolve `gitlab.base.RESTObject`. Without the explicit import, pyright cannot resolve the submodule access via the parent package (implicit submodule access is a runtime loader side effect that type checkers don't model). This caused `_RestObjectBase` to be `Unknown`, propagating through `RepositoryMixin` into `Project` and other classes. Fixes #3342 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
